Brayden had such a fun birthday party! We had the living room filled with balloons and although he didn’t fully understand the party was for him, he sure enjoyed himself. He let Lauren and Annie help open his gifts- he got a lot of cute summer outfits and sports-themed gifts. And he LOVED his cake- (Read the Rest…)

Happy 1st Birthday, Brayden! Such cute pictures of you celebrating with everyone! You are going to be a "speed demon" when you start walking , , , can't wait to see you head to Lauren's room then!
Love and kisses from Grandma Mary

Josh and Lauren made me the most colorful cake for my birthday- the inside was like a rainbow! I had fun celebrating with my family and even my brother Jeff was in town for the weekend. Birthdays don’t get too crazy when your 3-4, but I did get out a few nights so that was (Read the Rest…)

Stephanie, celebrating your birthday with you and family was so much fun! And Josh and Lauren's cake tasted as good as it looked! Hope Brayden is feeling better, too, poor baby! Hope your snow is gone now . . . we don't have ANY up here! Bath time pictures of Lauren and Brayden are so cute . . . remember whenJonny used to climb in with his PJ/'s on if you or Jeff were in the tub? Love from Grandma Mary

Lauren turned 3 last Monday and she had a Jungle Book themed party. You would think that she’d want a princess or Ariel theme, but she has her ways of surprising us. Thankfully Nana Jo came through with a cake with Mowgli and Baloo on it or else it would have just been a jungle (Read the Rest…)

Lauren, we had so much fun at your party! You looked so cute all dressed up like a princess . . . it reminded me of how much your mom loved to dress up in her Auntie Laurie's prom dresses and her Grandma Wanda's high heels! Love to all of you . . . please give your brother a BIG kiss from Grandma Mary

We spent the 4th of July in Park River, ND, and had a great day with the Halls. My cousin Bjorn, his wife Sveta and their daughter, Bianca, made the trip from the east coast and we got to celebrate Bianca’s 2nd birthday with her! Lauren loved being one of the gang- my cousins’ kids (Read the Rest…)

We celebrated Annie’s first birthday a couple weeks ago and had a great time in Fargo with family. It is so fun to watch Lauren and Anne together- they entertained us all with the Busy Ball Popper (which I would highly recommend for a child’s birthday present) and enjoyed playing with Anne’s new Dora kitchen.

These have got to be some of the cutest pictures & little girls I have ever seen. Love Lauren’s outfit btw ;)
Our thoughts and prayers are also with Joe and Erin & we hope she gets better soon.
Love always, Taylor

Lauren had a fun birthday weekend at the lake! Grandma Mary and Bumpa Nick joined us at Keck’s cabin with Opa Rob, Nana Jo, Auntie EJ and Annie. Josh and I had been preparing her all week for the activities of the weekend and it wasn’t long before she was rattling off her guests, her (Read the Rest…)

My mom and dad came down last weekend to celebrate Dad’s birthday with us. The weekend went too fast as always… Saturday we headed over to the Mill City Farmers Market and Como Zoo. It was a gorgeous day to be out and we had fun watching Lauren react to the zoo animals. We were (Read the Rest…)

Lauren had such a fun 1st birthday! We had lots of family and friends over to help her celebrate- it was a great afternoon to relax in the backyard and the kids kept busy with bubbles. Lauren didn’t quite know what to do with her cake, but it didn’t take long for her to make (Read the Rest…)

Lauren, What a great celebration your 1st birthday was! You had a wonderful time “catching” bubbles and interacting with everyone. That little sparkle in your eyes just melts my heart. You bring so much joy to so many lives…..we love you very much!

Lauren is so close to walking- maybe she’ll wait and take those first steps on her birthday! Her new favorite thing to do is pull all of the clothes and towels out of her dresser drawers. She’s also getting a little attitude, which the girls at daycare claim is her way of expressing independence. Lauren (Read the Rest…)

We started off the new year in Grafton and had a fun time celebrating a late Christmas and New Years with my family. It was great to have Jeff and Jonny home- they loved playing with Lauren and gave her a baby grand piano of her own. She loves dancing to the music! I was (Read the Rest…)

We took Lauren swimming for a birthday party last weekend – she liked the water but didn’t splash as much as she does in the bath. She was more interested in watching the older kids jump in off the sides of the pool. And she didn’t even mind too much when I dunked her underwater!

November has been a busy month so far! We started out by celebrating my birthday and I had a couple of fun nights out with friends. Then Lauren came down with a fever which was pretty tough on Josh and I- the worst were the shots and finger pricks she had to endure at the (Read the Rest…)
